Thanks, It's really a treat to see M27. Apparentely that's what will happen to our sun someday. Best wishes, Joe
Great shot! Looks like a Christmas ornament.

Hi friends, I wanted to let you know about a photo I just uploaded. I wanted put another on my gallery but now I can't log in again. But here's the first:

It's a view of M27, the Dumbbell Nebula, that I took the early morning of July 28. I was near Vernon, Tooele County, it wasn't too cold, and the sky was clear until close to morning.
What a wonderful way to spend a night. At dusk a large owl cruised past several times, usually with wings outspread, tilted, searching the ground for some of the abundant jackrabbits and voles in the area. A little after 1 a.m. the coyotes began their nightly yip-howl-barking. Later when one started again, I joined in, hoping to sing a duet, but it knew an imposter when it heard one, and shut up.
-- Best wishes, Joe
